A Jasper man who has over the last few weeks become concerned about the amount of trash along the streets decided this week to take matters in his hands and

Anybody we know? Axxe?

Good on this gentleman for staying busy and cleaning things up!

Sorry, I don't get that far east!

I just do my little county road in front of the house.

 

[skfullgun]

The nearest neighbor and I keep the area around our strip of mailboxes clean of most trash.

There is a tire in the ditch about 50 yards from the mailboxes. The County workers have mown over it twice, shredding it a bit more each time.

The guy on the mower said that wasn't his job. The lady at the precinct office said they don't pick up "hazardous waste" and I should call the State.

The only reason neither of us has picked it up it's because the county dump charges six or seven dollars a piece per tire.

When I bought my place, there were at least a dozen tires strewn about the property, and I've picked all of them up and have been taking them to a yearly "free disposal", but the limit is 4 tires per year.

That tire on the County Road is gonna have to wait a bit longer.

Heck, after reading this article, I may pick that tire up and take it to Jasper the next time I head that way!

I don't miss picking up the trash on our business property daily from the jerks who toss their trash out the window.......

Good for him! If I was retired I’d be doing it!

Tires are good around the necks of child molesters and lit on fire.

Just a thought.

In a figurative sorta way ofcourse. Actual violence makes me ill.

I'll. Hope hes not on disability or they may come a knocking. They dont get that a few minutes of activity to try and keep some semblance of health isnt the ability to do gainful employment.

53’ dry van tires would work best.

I would pick it up and put it on the truck of the people mowing then film them throwing it back off.

I try to keep my little stretch of State Hwy 63 E as clean as I can. I even have a little trash picker upper doo dad, so I don't have to touch it. Based on my roadside observations Busch is the beer of choice in Newton county.

Stacked tires filled with dirt or sand makes a good backstop. Back in the day, there was a live fire multi-room "house" set up at Oak Ridge this way.

"JASPER"

Tells me all I need to know.

Been there. . . . . worked there. . . .

Don't wanna go back, ever !

I picked up the tire and hung it over an "intersection ahead" sign approaching the nearest intersection of a County and a State road.

The neighbor and I have a bet about how long it will hang there while the the County and State try to say the other should dispose of it.

Is it blocking the wording on the sign?

 

[skfullgun]

I came VERY close to being hired as the superintendent of Jasper ISD right before all that racial stuff happened with the city council and a bunch of them were recalled.

Boy, did I dodge the silver bullet, or what!!!?

 

[skfullgun]

Is it blocking the wording on the sign?

No. You can clearly see that it says, "Intersection 265/70/R17 Ahead".

Seriously, no, it is not blocking the wording of the sign. I be a bit smarter than the usual redneck!
